If I knew heartbreak was coming, I would've set out running

Veronica Mars is over, just as it was setting up for a beautiful fourth season.

The silence you've heard around here has been a vigil to the impending announcement.

I think the most heartbreaking part was the presence of none other than Neko Case in the finale.

Welcome your new overlords, shows with names like Reaper and Gossip Girl.

And buy the Season Three DVDs. There's always hope for a Serenity-like big screen appearance.

As for me, I'll be around a bit more often. We're coping, and if you haven't picked up on it yet, Veronica Mars being canceled is just a metaphor for... a lot of what's been going on the past three months.
